Seven wounded in shooting at party

Seven people were shot and wounded, though none of them seriously, in a fight during a party at the Woodman of World lodge in Abbeville at about 1 a.m. Sunday, KATC reports.

Deputies said the shooting happened during a birthday party at the lodge in the 300 block of West Woodman Road.

There were about 100 people inside during the incident and the victims suffered non life-threatening injuries, deputies said.

Vermilion Parish Sheriff Mike Couvillon said the victims and witnesses investigators interviewed Sunday provided little information, but says it appears that a fight took place and gun fire was exchanged. Deputies have not released any suspects names.

Anyone with information can call the Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division at 898-4402 or 898-4403.
